Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to data communication, and more specifically to pilots suitable for use in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems.
  • MIMO multiple-input multiple-output
  • a MIMO system employs multiple (N ⁇ ) transmit antennas and multiple (NR) receive antennas for data transmission.
  • a MIMO channel formed by the ⁇ /r transmit and NR receive antennas may be decomposed into N s independent channels, which are also referred to as eigenmodes, where N s ⁇ min ⁇ N T , N R ⁇ .
  • Each of the Ns independent channels corresponds to a dimension.
  • the MIMO system can provide improved performance (e.g., increased transmission capacity and/or greater reliability) if the additional dimensionalities created by the multiple transmit and receive antennas are utilized.
  • data to be transmitted is first modulated onto a radio frequency (RF) carrier signal to generate an RF modulated signal that is more suitable for transmission over a wireless channel.
  • RF radio frequency
  • up to N ⁇ RF modulated signals may be generated and transmitted simultaneously from the ⁇ /r transmit antennas.
  • the transmitted RF modulated signals may reach the NR receive antennas via a number of propagation paths in the wireless channel.
  • the characteristics of the propagation paths typically vary over time due to a number of factors such as, for example, fading, multipath, and external interference.
  • the transmitted RF modulated signals may experience different channel conditions (e.g., different fading and multipath effects) and may be associated with different complex gains and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).
  • SNRs signal-to-noise ratios
  • a pilot is transmitted by the transmitter to assist the receiver in performing a number of functions.
  • the pilot is typically generated based on known symbols and processed in a known manner.
  • the pilot may be used by the receiver for channel estimation, timing and frequency acquisition, data demodulation, and so on.
  • Various challenges are encountered in the design of a pilot structure for a MIMO system. As one consideration, the pilot structure needs to address the additional dimensionalities created by the multiple transmit and multiple receive antennas. As another consideration, since pilot transmission represents overhead in the MIMO system, it is desirable to minimize pilot transmission to the extent possible.
  • the pilot structure needs to be designed such that the pilots needed to support the multiple users do not consume a large portion of the available system resources.
  • pilots suitable for use in MIMO systems are provided herein. These pilots can support various functions that may be needed for proper system operation, such as timing and frequency acquisition, channel estimation, calibration, and so on.
  • the pilots may be considered as being of different types that are designed and used for different functions.
  • the various types of pilot may include: a beacon pilot, a MIMO pilot, a steered reference or steered pilot, and a carrier pilot.
  • the beacon pilot is transmitted from all transmit antennas and may be used for timing and frequency acquisition.
  • the MIMO pilot is also transmitted from all transmit antennas but is covered with different orthogonal codes assigned to the transmit antennas.
  • the MIMO pilot may be used for channel estimation.
  • the steered reference is transmitted on specific eigenmodes of a MIMO channel and is user terminal specific. The steered reference may be used for channel estimation and possibly rate control.
  • the carrier pilot may be transmitted on certain designated subbands/antennas and may be used for phase tracking of a carrier signal.
  • an access point may transmit a beacon pilot, a MIMO pilot, and a carrier pilot for all user terminals within its coverage area and may optionally transmit a steered reference to any active user terminal that is receiving a downlink transmission from the access point.
  • a user terminal may transmit a MIMO pilot for calibration and may transmit a steered reference and a carrier pilot when scheduled (e.g., for downlink and/or uplink data transmissions). The processing to transmit and receive these various types of pilot is described in further detail below.

  • FIG. 1 shows a multiple-access MIMO system 100 that supports a number of users and is capable of implementing the pilots described herein.
  • MIMO system 100 includes a number of access points (APs) 110 that support communication for a number of user terminals (UTs) 120.
  • APs access points
  • UTs user terminals
  • An access point is generally a fixed station that is used for communicating with the user terminals.
  • An access point may also be referred to as a base station or using some other terminology.
  • User terminals 120 may be dispersed throughout the system. Each user terminal may be a fixed or mobile terminal that can communicate with the access point. A user terminal may also be referred to as an access terminal, a mobile station, a remote station, a user equipment (UE), a wireless device, or some other terminology. Each user terminal may communicate with one or possibly multiple access points on the downlink and/or uplink at any given moment.
  • the downlink i.e., forward link
  • the uplink i.e., reverse link
  • an "active" user terminal is one that is receiving a downlink transmission from an access point and/or transmitting an uplink transmission to the access point.
  • access point 110a communicates with user terminals 120a through 120f
  • access point 110b communicates with user terminals 120f through 120k.
  • the assignment of user terminals to access points is typically based on received signal strength and not distance.
  • a user terminal may receive downlink transmission from one or multiple access points.
  • a system controller 130 couples to access points 110 and may be designed to perform a number of functions such as (1) coordination and control for the access points coupled to it, (2) routing of data among these access points, and (3) access and control of communication with the user terminals served by these access points.
  • Pilots suitable for use in MIMO systems are provided herein. These pilots can support various functions that may be needed for proper system operation, such as timing and frequency acquisition, channel estimation, calibration, and so on.
  • the pilots may be considered as being of different types that are designed and used for different functions. Table 1 lists four types of pilot and their short description for an exemplary pilot design. Fewer, different, and/or additional pilot types may also be defined, and this is within the scope of the invention.
  • Steered reference and steered pilot are synonymous terms.
  • Various pilot transmission schemes may be devised based on any combination of these various types of pilot.
  • an access point may transmit a beacon pilot, a MIMO pilot, and a carrier pilot for all user terminals within its coverage area and may optionally transmit a steered reference to any active user terminal that is receiving a downlink transmission from the access point.
  • a user terminal may transmit a MIMO pilot for calibration and may transmit a steered reference and a carrier pilot when scheduled (e.g., for downlink and/or uplink data transmissions).
  • the processing to transmit and receive these various types of pilot is described in further detail below.
  • the pilots described herein may be used for various types of MIMO systems.
  • the pilots may be used for (1) single-carrier MIMO systems, (2) multi-carrier MIMO systems that employ orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or some other multi-carrier modulation technique, (3) MIMO systems that implement multiple-access techniques such as frequency division multiple-access (FDMA), time division multiple-access (TDMA), and code division multiple-access (CDMA), (4) MIMO systems that implement frequency division multiplexing (FDM), time division multiplexing (TDM), and/or code division multiplexing (CDM) for data transmission, (5) MIMO systems that implement time division duplexing (TDD), frequency division duplexing (FDD), and/or code division duplexing (CDD) for the downlink and uplink channels, and (6) other types of MIMO systems.
  • OFDM orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
  • CDMA code division multiple-access
  • FDM frequency division multiplexing
  • TDM time division multiplexing
  • CDD code division duplexing
  • OFDM effectively partitions the overall system bandwidth into a number of (N F ) orthogonal subbands, which are also referred to as tones, frequency bins, or frequency subchannels.
  • N F orthogonal subbands
  • each subband is associated with a respective subcarrier upon which data may be modulated.
  • each subband may be associated with a number of eigenmodes, and each eigenmode of each subband may be viewed as an independent transmission channel.
  • 64 subbands 48 subbands (e.g., with indices of ⁇ 1 , ..., 6, 8, ..., 20, 22, ...
  • the 52 "usable" subbands include the 48 data subbands and 4 pilot subbands, and the remaining 12 subbands are not used.
  • This OFDM subband structure is described in further detail in the aforementioned provisional U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 60/421 ,309.
  • the data to be transmitted on each usable subband is first modulated (i.e., symbol mapped) using a particular modulation scheme (e.g., BPSK, QPSK, or M-QAM) selected for use for that subband.
  • a particular modulation scheme e.g., BPSK, QPSK, or M-QAM
  • One modulation symbol may be transmitted on each usable subband in each symbol period.
  • Each modulation symbol is a complex value for a specific point in a signal constellation corresponding to the selected modulation scheme. Signal values of zero may be sent on the unused subbands.
  • the modulation symbols for the usable subbands and zero signal values for the unused subbands are transformed to the time domain using an inverse fast Fourier transform (1FFT) to obtain a transformed symbol that comprises NF time-domain samples.
  • 1FFT inverse fast Fourier transform
